Okay, so let's keep this old thread going! I ordered from Nicky D's last night b/c Hard times has been terrible lately. Pizza showed up exactly 45 minutes later, was warm, and perfect. Pepperoni and Mushroom pie. Blew Hard Times away. They are a bit pricier than Hard Times but last night they were worth it.

Knowing how the board felt about this place, I still wanted to see the view. Went last night for drinks at sunset, and had only apps, Crab cakes (one large) and spring rolls. Granted, not a full meal, but service was attentive and appetizers were suprisingly good. Maybe it was because we were there so early (6pm). I wonder if they just can't maintain quality when it gets crowded (as it was when we left at 7:30pm). I guess I'll have to take the plunge for dinner and hope for the best.

Also good is Silverlake Liquor, across from the 7-11 and Michelangelo's on Silverlake BLVD. New owner took over a year ago, and has really brought it upscale. Nice selection of domestic micros and imports, and Wednesday is Beer night, meaning 10% off. Very friendly staff, too.
